pope benedict says he wants to pray and study. trouble ised twowork within an ancient stone's throw. they will be a few yards apart. both men will be served by the same archbishop and dressed in kind of the same outfit. no wonder who vatican-based cardinals are privately grumbling, especially though cardinals aren't supposed to grumble. the concern is just going to confuse folks. like the mess in 1980 when ronald reagan was toying with the idea of putting gerald ford on the ticket to be his running mate. ford's folks would say that their guy would be a co-president. reagan picked the kabosh and ultimately picked bush who became a president anyway.
